Raft Volleyball is terrible.

[HBIMajorV]

Like among the worst minis I've ever played terrible. It's Tifa sit ups but poorly optimized. I'm actually shocked it hasn't been thoroughly discussed. This game does a ton right but this is an egregious miss.


I turned off all the graphic enhancements and got it the first try.
Motion blur, grain, aberration and vignette.

Im glad there was only this one in the entire game because another one would have make me fume to much !

Oh and th problem is not the minigame itself it's just that your character make billions of years to attack again and that the camera angle, the hitbox, and the control on the raft are straight up terrible, for me they should have make the raft smaller to at least aim better and don't get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ by the broken hitbox that make you miss rocket when it shouldn't

Took me a couple of tries that's for sure, it's a rhythm mini game more than anything because of the animation cooldown.

If you get in the right timing you basically just spam the move on cooldown, one mistake and you can't really recover.

The animation takes longer than the time for 2 gestrals from different directions to land. Short of getting lucky rng the strongest is virtually impossible.

Took me an hour to complete all 3. Had to use my PS5 pad, and treat it like a rhythm game. Once I did that it was just a case of nailing the timing. Do NOT try this on keyboard though!

You have to preshot a bit, before it gains the speed and curve into the raft.

It is legit terrible, but if you are not worried about collecting EVERYTHING, the only reward is a swimsuit the others are things you pick up during the game normally anyhow.

There's an achievement for it, so it comes down to are you an achievement hunter or not.

Lower the visual effects setting. On high and above the particle effects mask the gestrals coming at you so you cant see them

Took me less than 10 minutes to beat all of them, although hard difficulty took me about 15 tries because I was getting hit too quickly

Dropped essentially all of my graphics settings to Medium and got it two tries after trying like 20 times with Epic settings good advice, thanks!

This mini-game was horrible. Overall this game is really fun, but I have no idea WTF they were thinking with this minigame

[goodbye_bonito]

It's horrible until you understand how to properly aproach it. Then it becomes not that hard.

[METAL]

Agreed. I gave up on it. It's just terrible to play and not really fun either.

[Xaphnir]

Haven't completed it, but I think you need to pick ones to intentionally miss so that you can catch up. If you try to throw out attacks as fast as possible, he throws out Gestrals faster, so if you try to keep up it's impossible.

Turns out you don't need to be all levels to get the achievement. If you can't beat it on hard, it still counts because you beat easy and normal. Wish someone told me that.
